Chapter Twenty-Eight: Paving the Way

Mingzhu entered the palace after choosing a maid, Yinzhu stayed in Mingzhu's courtyard to manage the little girl, Mingya temporarily lived in Mingzhu's courtyard, and the two sisters lived together and had a companion.

The Queen Mother hasn't seen Mingzhu for several days, and the quiet needles in the palace can be heard, and the old lady chatters all day long, "Mingzhu is coming back, right?" I don't know if it's good to play? ”

"It's coming back soon, why don't you send someone to pick it up?" Mama Li asked ponderingly.

"No need, you can't stay in the palace all the time, you have to be close to your parents, sisters and brothers, otherwise you will be impersonal when you get married in the future, just stay with me for a few days, this child is filial, I will hurt two more points, but I can't let her be estranged from her family." The Queen Mother shook her head and refused to be called.

"The Queen Mother is charitable, you love the big girl." Mama Li smashed her mouth and thought that what the Queen Mother said was right.

"Yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent beads, jewelry, and fabrics, and you chose that beautiful color for Mingzhu to keep. There are also a few dim sum made in the kitchen, Mingzhu loves to eat sugar steamed cheese and mulberry fragrant dew, as well as the red date cake and yam chestnut cake, let people prepare. Get a few dishes that Mingzhu likes to eat. The Queen Mother muttered.

"Well, don't worry, you won't be mistaken."

"Queen Mother, do you miss me, I miss you." Before Mingzhu entered the door, she rushed in like a bunny.

"Oh, my little girl, are you back, are you happy?" The Queen Mother hugged the pearl of an apricot red embroidered butterfly orchid jacket skirt and groped carefully.

"I'm happy to play, I've learned to drink water, I've also started a foal, I've also learned martial arts with my master, and now I can squat on a stick of incense. I've got some fun stuff for you. The pearls chirped and counted one by one, like a cheerful bird that flew into the silent hall, adding a bright color to the dreary temple.

"Oh, really? You have learned to drink water, then I will take you to the soup pool to play at night, that pool can only be used by me, and no one cares about you when you toss hard, I will ask the emperor for an obedient foal for you to ride, okay? The Queen Mother's face was full of joy.

"Okay, you see this is my own spring tea, I specially brought it back for you to taste, only my grandmother and grandfather have it at home, and my father didn't have it." Mingzhu offered his messy tea.

"Oops! Okay, my pearl is really filial, soak it in the mourning family. The Queen Mother immediately happily let people take it down and soak it.

"Queen Mother, I'm hungry and give me some snacks, when will I go to school, I've been practicing calligraphy recently, do you think I'm good at writing?" Mingzhu took out the contents of his small backpack one by one, like a treasure chest, all kinds of messy things, and a slingshot.

"Yo! Whose is this slingshot? Who did it for you? "The Queen Mother felt very familiar when she saw this slingshot.

"My grandfather made it for me, and he accompanied me to play a bird's nest, and I still have a spinning top, and my grandfather played it well, and I couldn't beat him." Mingzhu leaned on the queen mother's arms and chirped, not idle for a moment.

"Go pour a bowl of milk tea for Mingzhu, serve snacks, and ask for the red date cake and jujube paste yam chestnut cake and rose cake." The Queen Mother waved her hand.

"Yes, Hongmei went down to serve it, the eldest lady drank a cup of hot tea first, get up early and boil it, this will be mellow." The big palace maid Chunlan smiled and brought a cup of hot milk tea.

"Thank you, Sister Chunlan, I brought my sisters small snacks and candied fruit outside, as well as a notebook and jewelry hairpins outside, you can play with it, it's not a rare thing, I heard that the dim sum in Fuyunlou is delicious, I look at it and that's it." Mingzhu took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Hehehe! The good ones are all in the palace, and the ones outside are just a gimmick. Someone from the Internal Affairs Office came yesterday, and the mourning family left you some beads and materials, and asked them to take them down and make clothes for you to wear. The Queen Mother touched Mingzhu's back and said lovingly, her eyes revealing a loving smile.

"Well, I'll pick my own tricks." Mingzhu nodded, she has always been very comfortable in the Queen Mother, unlike those princesses, who are so afraid that they can't say anything well, and the Queen Mother doesn't like it.

"Okay, the choice is yours. Let them make you a backpack, do you want to read with them, and let them choose a companion for you? "The Queen Mother is so distressed that she spoils Mingzhu and treats her as her own granddaughter, and she is better than this princess.

"I'm not a princess, I want to read with you, so that the princesses don't look good. Besides, it is not necessarily good to read with trembling, not to mention that the parents are distressed when they are sent in by the daughters of officials, so why bother. But I beg you, when I can read and write, I'm going to Wenyuan Pavilion to read books, there are a lot of books there are lonely, and I don't have them at home. Mingzhu shook the sleeve of the Queen Mother and was coquettish.

"Okay, when you know more words, you can go, no one dares to stop you." The Queen Mother smiled.

In the previous life, Mingzhu died for a long time and could not be reincarnated and could not leave the palace, there was nothing else to do except to watch the dynasty change the woman's heart, the rest of the time is to read thousands of books, every time the dynasty changes a lot of secret techniques and ancient recipes will be lost or damaged in the war, her favorite is to read, after reincarnation, she has the ability to never forget, the books that I read when I used to be a ghost are still remembered clearly, so I have to prepare early in this life, and I can also have a source to learn ancient recipes in the future.

At noon, Mingzhu gaged the Queen Mother to use half a bowl of rice, and played around in the small garden of Cining Palace for a while, before pulling the Queen Mother back for a lunch break.

With Mingzhu, a lively little thing, the Queen Mother had more smiles on her face, the emperor was happy to see the Queen Mother, and was naturally in a good mood, and rewarded Mingzhu with a lot of things, all of which were children's toys, as well as a set of chessboards of quimb wood, black and white jade chess pieces, which were good things in the emperor's private treasury, and were asked by the Queen Mother to give to Mingzhu. The grandfather and grandson often play against each other.

The queen mother's chess skills are not good, Mingzhu is young and will not be too good, but can play together, the two are very happy, but the emperor is left behind, usually the emperor and the queen mother play, and have to let the queen mother, now the queen mother is not uncommon to play with her son, find a companion, the emperor is still a little jealous, and go to Cining Palace to run to work.

Mingzhu went to school with the princesses in the study, and the work and rest gradually became regular, getting up early to squat and run in circles to exercise, and then ate breakfast to go to school, and at noon accompanied the Queen Mother to joke and play for a while with the Queen Mother around the garden to move around the body, practice words in the afternoon, if you have time, you will also play for a while.

In addition to the master and the female red who taught the princess in the palace, they all had to learn, and they were naturally the best masters, and when they were six years old, they had to learn bow horses, and of course let the princesses move.

Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty established the Great Zhou, the folk customs are a bit of the meaning of learning the Tang Dynasty, the Great Zhou has been inherited for more than 100 years, the emperors of the past dynasties are conscientious, and the current emperor is also an enlightened monarch, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Mingzhu studied carefully, especially interested in historical records and other general political classics and laws, and Jiaxuan at home was also a little surprised but a little regretful after secretly reading the book, and the surprise was that the history she knew was different, and the regret was that the history she had learned was not useful, and she should be more cautious in the future.
